	Every so often, one of the many contributors on ''Battlestar Wiki'' has completed one edit too many and needs to blow off some steam by making a [[Wikipedia:Non sequitur\|non sequitur]] article that pokes fun at the ''Battlestar Galactica'' ~~universe~~.		Every so often, one of the many contributors on Battlestar Wiki has completed one edit too many and needs to blow off some steam by making a [[Wikipedia:Non sequitur\|non sequitur]] article that pokes fun at the ''Battlestar Galactica'' universes.

	We call these articles '''silly pages'''. While silly pages can be very humorous, they still must have a purpose on ''Battlestar Wiki''-- however tenuous that purpose may be.

	*A silly page should poke fun primarily at characters, situations, or events in any of the ''Battlestar Galactica'' universes ''only.''Jabs at movies or TV shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek\|Star Trek]]'' or printed fiction is appropriate if the bulk of your silly page involves ''Battlestar'' elements. '''Targets for fun do not include any [[Special:Listusers\|users]] of this (or any) wiki, or any actual person, living or dead.'''

	*Silly pages are appropriate ways to "embellish" on articles with obvious references to commonplace objects in the real-world. Normally, such articles are not appropriate on ''Battlestar Wiki'' because of the article's redundant or obvious content. Articles such as "[[Flashlight]]" and "[[Toaster]]", however, point out the use of these terms in the ''Battlestar Galactica'' ~~universe~~ while, at the same time, adding a humorous element.		*Silly pages are appropriate ways to "embellish" on articles with obvious references to commonplace objects in the real-world.
